Speaking of Gantz look at what manga crunchyroll just put out. http://www.crunchyroll.com/comics/manga/inuyashiki/volumes So far it's a great ride.

I might actually give it a read now that it has an official translation, the fan ones were awful.

I like inuyashiki because it is following up on the sadly underutilized 'virtuous old man gets super powers' concept from gantz. Like, whenever the old man got an appearance in gantz it always seemed like he would have been a way better protagonist than weepy douchebag kurono. Pity the actual manga is middling at best, though.

Annointed posted:I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this, but since the old Teppu thread is a year old I fugured this is the best place. Teppu is going to end in two chapters after years of delays, partially due to the author's poor health. Chances are it's probably not going to resolve alot of the plot threads, but at least it'll end instead of being HiatusXHiatus. drat that's a shame. At least it will get some sort of closure though. Sucks to hear about the author's health, I had never known about that before.

I wouldn't actually recommend Inuyashiki to anyone though, unless you're where I am where you've read most of the typical recommended excellent manga on ADTRW and just skim/sample a buncha random series that vary from good to middling. Like if you're someone who hasn't read the best of say, Naoki Urasawa or say, gotten into Vinland Saga/Historie/I Am a Hero/etc, don't even bother validating the Gantz guy with your attention any further. I mean even with sci-fi/action manga, there are better dudes to choose from. Cool old dude though.

I'm worried that murdering robot boy is going to kick Inuyashiki's rear end once they end up fighting. I get the feeling that he's probably experimented more with his abilities and is better able to utilize them. Then again, Inuyashiki now has help from murderous kid's friend and has been practicing so who knows. Speaking of murderous kid, he's kind of interesting in that he represents an extreme of the way most people are; he has empathy for the people he knows closely and cares about but doesn't care about anyone else.

So, is it just me or is Tokyo Ghoul:Re pretty much "Do nothing, the manga~". Edit: Plus the cover makes him look like he has a learning disability.

I didn't really get very far after the whole PAIN AND TORTURE HAVE GIVEN ME ABS, BLACK FINGER NAILS, AND WHITE HAIR it's like a new super saiyan paradigm man it's kind of sad considering the promise of the first chapter (the early chapters really do feel like a series from someone less retarded, it's like they switched writers like that other dumb thing Ajin or w/e). It went to poo poo faster than any manga I've read, Gantz didn't go to poo poo that quickly! It's sad reading posts of mine in this thread in like May talking about how Tokyo Ghoul is this fun new promising action series I'm reading. I know it didn't have a lot of brains or nuance to begin with, but it's remarkable how much dumber it got, like all of a sudden it went from this:  to this:   (and it's really not the translation that's the issue. I wonder if the manga-ka got brain damage or something) Punkin Spunkin fucked around with this message at 00:57 on May 14, 2015 |

The best part about tokyo ghoul was that one weirdo who got really upset that no one else gave a gently caress about it.

They changed, sped up, and omitted some things (cramming 140+ chapters into 26 episodes will do that), but the main story is mostly the same. Closer to FMA: Brotherhood than the original FMA anime, if you want a comparison of adaptations.

coathat posted:New series by the soil guy. For lovers of art and extreme violence. http://bato.to/comic/_/comics/deathco-r15166 I love his art so much, it is so much better than literally 95% of other manga art out there. Regarding the new series, the pacing seems kind of strange. It's weird that he spent the whole first four chapters on introducing the main character, particularly in what I assume is a monthly manga.

Yeah I guess there was no good way for it to end at this point in the story, but that's the problem. There was absolutely no reason for the story to end here, there was still a lot of plotlines left to explore.

So, Aki Eda (the author of Bonnouji) has started a new manga about card games. It is... kind of weird? http://bato.to/comic/_/comics/wizards-soul-holy-war-of-love-r15381/ Note: please please please don't start sperging out about mtg here.

Suddenly everyone started keeling over and it's over all of a sudden. "Live by the sword, die by the sword" kinda fits.

I kind of wish it was Actual M:tG, because it being that close but not quite there is really distracting to me. It'd probably be worse for the story, though. Still gonna think of her dad as that one guy that bought like a thousand Daybreak Rangers, though.

I may be late on this but there's a new chapter of The Town Where Only I Am Missing. Does anyone know if they're translating any more chapters of Suicide Island in english? I can't find anything past chapter 91. Edit: Apocalypse No Toride has gotten pretty good. Not sure if I should link it since CrunchyRoll carries it.
